Abstract:
... Packing densification of mono-sized regular dodecahedral particles subjected to 3D vibrations was studied through systematical physical experiments. The influences of various vibration conditions and container size on the packing density were analyzed and the operating parameters were optimized. The obtained microstructures of different packings were characterized through 3D CT non-destructive ins ...

Abstract:
... Hoppers are one of the most popular devices implemented to allow precise flow control mechanism when dispensing granulate materials from silos and other containers. Despite its ubiquity in many industrial processes, the effect that hopper geometry has on the flow rate is still poorly understood. In this work, we study the influence of the hopper angle on the main two variables that determine the f ...

Abstract:
... Altruism is often considered as the ultimate form of prosociality and is defined as any act that benefits others without direct benefit to the actor. Many nonhuman species have been reported to express different forms of altruism, although their expression in experimental studies is highly dependent on the paradigm used. Tufted capuchin monkeys are one of the most studied species; however, the evi ...

Abstract:
... Poinsettia is an economically important ornamental potted plant in which certain bract colour variants are often obtained by mutation breeding. Previously, in poinsettia, we identified Bract1, a GST gene involved in the sequestration and transport of anthocyanins to the vacuole. This gene carries a short, highly mutable 4‐bp repeat in its coding region. Loss of one repeat unit leads to a loss of f ...
